(As has been pointed out, you /are/ using clang.  clang accepts pretty 
much the same set of flags as gcc.  The list I give below is for gcc, 
based on the flag sets I use - I hope they match clang here.)

Those flags are fine as a starting point - but you can get more help 
from your compiler with more flags.  Because different people write code 
in different ways, and some warnings trigger on legal C that some people 
think is perfectly good, additional warnings are not included in the 
"-Wall -Wextra" sets.  It is up to the individual programmer (or project 
manager, etc.) to decide the details here.  But here are a few 
suggestions for additional or alternative flags that you might find 
helpful - I certainly do:


Consider using -std=c11.  For the kind of code you are writing, c11 does 
not add much - but it is the current standard.  The key benefit that I 
see is the _Static_assert() feature.  Personally, I have no use for 
"-pedantic" and prefer "-std=gnu11" because I feel the gcc extensions 
let me write better and safer code - but for learning, it is best to 
stick as close as possible to the standards with -pedantic.


Additional warning flags:

-Wlogical-op (Warns about odd-looking uses of logical operators)

-Wredundant-decls (Warns about duplicate declarations)

-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations (With these in place, your 
functions need to be either "static", or have a declarations before the 
definition - typically in a header)

-Wundef (Warn if an undefined identifier is used in an #if directive)

-Wnull-dereference (Warn if the compiler can spot a null deference when 
optimisation is on)

-Wduplicated-branches -Wduplicated-cond (Warn about branches and 
conditionals that have the duplicates)

-Wcast-qual -Wcast-align (Warn about some possible bad casts)

I also recommend using -O1 to enable optimisation - it also enables 
better code analysis, and therefore better static error checking.
